Schist Cladding is also used for Landscaping projects.


Create structure with a schist stone retaining wall like Tim from @featureworks.


These concrete block walls were cladded with our Fruitlands Schist from our new quarry to create retaining walls, walkways and an outdooor entertainment area.


Schist stone from Central Otago is a favourite for many stonemasons. It has a good natural grain with warm fawns and grey colouring.


We freight our stone throughout New Zealand.

Thank you @stonesouth for using our Lightweight 40mm Cut Veneer Fruitlands Schist Stone on this challenging outdoor fireplace.


Excellent skills shown by the stonemason. We supplied Nigel with our corners and flats to complete this tight stack stone project - finished with a couple of feature pieces sourced from a different supplier.


We freighted this stone overnight to Invercargill as requested.

With such strong demand for Central Otago Schist Stone and lead times being up to 6 - 10 months, this becomes a challenge for stonemason, builders, contractors and architects who have deadlines on finishing a project.


Our new Fruitlands Schist Stone Quarry will help take the pressure off supply to stonemasons who are currently experiencing several months delay.


Current lead time for our new Schist Stone is 2 -3 weeks from your order, but do get in contact and confirm your stone orders to avoid delays with your cladding projects.


We are also now specialising in Lightweight Veneer Schist Cladding 40mm - 100mm direct from our quarry.
